The project: The position is part of ReDyslexia funded by ERANET-NEURON (https://www.neuron-eranet.eu/projects/ReDyslexia/). ReDyslexia is a research consortium of neuroscientists and clinicians that have the aim (1) to better understand sensory pathway dysfunction in developmental dyslexia, and (2) to directly use this knowledge for improving treatment strategies. ReDyslexia includes studies in humans with developmental dyslexia as well as experiments in animal models.

Tasks: The task involves (i) using a neuroimaging and behaviour database to assess sensory pathway dysfunction in dyslexia during childhood development, (ii) employing neurostimulation, neuroimaging, and behavioural measurements to assess and establish novel treatment approaches in adult dyslexics, and (iii) collaborating with clinicians and wet-lab neuroscientists to develop common experimental paradigms across different developmental stages and species

The setting: TU Dresden is one of eleven German Universities of Excellence. It provides an outstanding scientific infrastructure and ideal environment for interdisciplinary cooperation. Developmental neuroimaging projects will be conducted in collaboration with Dr. R. Bethlehem (University of Cambridge, https://www.autismresearchcentre.com/staff/richard-bethlehem/). Experiments will be performed at the Neuroimaging Centre (NIC, http://www.nic-tud.de). The NIC is equipped with a research-only MRI machine (Siemens 3T Prisma), MRI-compatible EEG, eye-tracking and noise-cancellation headphones, and a neurostimulation unit including TMS, tDCS, and tFUS. All experimental facilities are supported by experienced physics and IT staff. For computational work, there is access to the Centre for Information Services and High Performance Computing at TU Dresden. The TU Dresden Graduate Academy offers a comprehensive training programme and individual career advice for early career researchers (https://tu-dresden.de/ga?set_language=en).
Applications from women are particularly welcome. The same applies to people with disabilities.

Contact for Questions: For questions about the position please contact Prof. Dr. Katharina von Kriegstein (katharina.von_kriegstein@tu-dresden.de).
